Useful Information

Many Rethynmo beaches offer water sports, especially in the northern resorts, and there are opportunities for snorkelling and diving in the clear, warm seas. Inland, the area is a hikers paradise with alpine paths, lofty peaks, and desolate gorges to explore either on your own or with a guide. Similarly, there is a cycling network of 168km taking in the mountains, the town of Rethymno and the lowland coastal routes. Boats criss-cross the southern beaches around Agia Galini, while in Rethymno itself a couple of road trains explore the city and head to nearby mountain villages.
